Hiding link in navigation pane

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

How to hide a link to a related entity in the navigation pane of a form:
When you have a lookup on form (A) to an entity (B) you will have on form (B) a link to the related entities (A) in the navigation pane.
Sometimes you do not want to have the link to a related entity (A) shown in the navigation pane of the form (B).
To remove the link you can use a little piece of client side code put in the onLoad of the form (B):

if (document.all.nav_new_form(B)_new_form(A) !=null)
{
document.all.nav_new_form(B)_new_form(A).style.display = "none";
}

In version 4.0 hiding a link can also be done via out-of-the-box customization.
